Brief Answer:
These medicines will not help

Detailed Answer:
Hi, Welcome to HCM.

I understand your concerns about irregular cycles.

Irregular cycles are due to PCOD and overweight problem. The best option is to lose weight if you are overweight. This will help to regularize periods as well as to conceive naturally.

The medicines you are taking are not of much help. Stop them.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

thank you for the reply..

so these medicines are just for no benefit ? is PCOD normal or is it to be worried about ?

I understand , you ask me to reduce weight.. but it will surely take time atleast an year. Until then can you help me with a solution to get back cycle.

Any routine that I should concentrate or a exercise that I need be regular with..

Brief Answer:
Weight loss will help

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

PCOD is normal and is present in many women. Many women with PCOD have normal pregnancy and delivery in future.

If you are not trying for pregnancy, you can use oral contraceptive pills available in market on regular basis to get cycles regularly.

Your routine should include low calorie diet ( about 1000 calories only) in consultation with a dietician and regular exercise ( under a trainer in a gym) which will help in reducing weight.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

Brief Answer:
Get follicular growth scan done

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

If you are looking to get pregnant dont take OCP.

Instead you take ovulation induction tablets like clomiphene citrate and get regular follicular growth ultrasound scan done to identify egg growth and subsequent ovulation which will suggest the best day to try for pregnancy.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
